Submitting Credentialing Supporting Documents to CAQH

August 17, 2012

On Aug. 18, 2012, the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare, Inc. (CAQH®) will begin offering you the option to submit provider supporting documents via email. You will now be able to email electronic copies of supporting documents (i.e., Authorization Attestation and Release forms, Professional Liability Insurance Policy face sheets, DEA certificates, etc.) to Supportingdocsupd@acsgs.com.

Your submission should include the email cover sheet, which will be available at upd.caqh.org/OAS. CAQH has updated the Attachment page on the Online Application System (OAS) site with instructions for those providers wanting to take advantage of this new email option. The fax option will also remain available.

As part of this release, a new UPD Reference Guide and CAQH Credentialing Provider Notification Plan have been revised. These documents will soon be available on the OAS Documentation page.

If you have questions regarding the UPD update, please contact the CAQH Help Desk at 888-599-1771 or send an email to caqh.updhelp@acsgs.com.
